Kodak Sport vs Nikon S32 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing merely by going through specifications. The graphic here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Sport and S32.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Sport because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon S32 will produce more detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The older Sport will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
